Franca showed genuine interest in and respect for all of the designers present and decided almost immediately to post content from the gathering on vogue.it. She said she was impressed by the quality of work from the designers, and advised that they continue being true to themselves and their style… She offered many words of encouragement, so get ready to see some inspired/inspiring things coming from these freshly-fired-up designers.

So if you all are reading, thank you Franca for all your encouragement and guidance, and a special thanks to Ying Wang and Jasmine Ting for putting everything together and making this possible for Chinese fashion designers!!
